The father of the bulldog (something I would never admit to, but that is just me) generally posts nonsense in order to get a rise out of "liberal", never mind that this had every reactionary redneck hunter type who stumbled upon his words, laughing at him.

I think they're only about 50 miles apart too.
You can sit at Chloride City, and look down at Badwater, and across and up to Whitney.

At the Mahogany Flat Campground you can walk to one side and look down at Badwater, and walk to the other side (with your cold Sierra Nevada beer, bud lite if you are a conservative, in your hand) and see Mt. Whitney.

The Central Sierra Snow Lab at Norden, CA. states this is the most snow 2.2 meters at the lab, at this date since they began keeping records in 1945. There were heavier snows in the 1880's

That's because they didn't have snow making machines back then.

So, in the 1880's there were heavier snows because they did not have snow making machines?

Yes. That's what my pastor told me so it is true.

We've gotten about 18" of snow here at the top of the state on the slopes of Mt. Shasta. Not unexpected this time of year, however, each year we are getting older and snow chores wear us out quickly!!

Stay dry everyone and have a Merry Christmas!

I do not know if this statement is facetious or not, the wackodeniers will say something like this everytime it gets cold someplace, but the statement is absolutely true.

Global warming puts the climate on steroids, there will be more cold and more heat, more precip and more drought.

As my neighbor in Truckee said to another neighbor as he was snoblowing his 200 foot driveway, "do you want to be doing this when you are 70?"

Neighbor #1 bought several properties in Prescott AZ he goes to one of them during winter, Neighbor #2 is still snoblowing.

We had 3/4 of a mile to plow to the county road, and we are now on the Central Coast, where none of this precip needs plowing.
